{Bracketed items} are comments by translator.
[Square bracketed items] are descriptions of something from the manga.
To Meifu, that which is called the Land of the Dead, come the dead to
be judged on the deeds of their past life by the organization known as
JuOhCho------
In there is EnMaCho, Meifu's greatest Cho under the command of the chief
god of Hell EnMaDaiOh.
EnMaCho Shokan Division also called the Shinigami Bureau
Specializes in dealing with trouble arising from the court process.
[Someone is walking briskly.]
A special organization under EnMaDaiOh-------
That is this Shokan Division.
[The walker is female, heading toward the Shokan Division.]
Tsuzuki: "Sakae Shop's cream cake~~~~white noblewoman's cheesecake."
Tsuzuki: "And this is apple pie from across the street."
Tsuzuki: "Cold sweets would have been good but~~~~"
Tsuzuki: "Yup, my mornings can't be without cake (heart)."
[Hisoak is sitting next to Tsuzuki, fanning himself like mad.]
Hisoka: "Stop it, will you, it's too hot...!!"
Tsuzuki: "....What? Hisoka. It's already the end of summer??"
{theria: Natsu-bate?}
Tsuzuki: "You haven't been skipping breakfast again have you?
What did you eat this morning? Yesterday?"
Hisoka: "Shut up...Leave me alone."
Tsuzuki: "Uh uh... You have to eat in the summer!!"
Tsuzuki: "Want some? Cheesecake."
Hisoka: "NO!!!"
Hisoka: [slams down the fan] "That's enough, leave me alone!!"
Hisoka: "This doesn't concern you right!? Go away, it's hot!!!"
Tsuzuki: [on verge of tears with puppy ears] "Doesn't concern
me...of course it does!!"
Tsuzuki: "Isn't it natural to be worried about your partner's
health!! I LIKE you!!!"
Hisoka: "WHA...."
[He's speechless but not in an 'I'm touched way'. More like a 'what
the hell' kind of way.]
Hisoka: "Whawhawhawhawhat the hell are you talking
about!!!"
Tsuzuki: "But it's true."
Hisoka: "You BAKA!!!"
Tsuzuki: "Waaaa, you even called me a 'baka'~~~~"
"THAT IS RIGHT, TSUZUKI-SAN!!!"
[Yuma and Saya do a semi-sentai pose.]
Yuma: "Because you like him, you're concerned! Worried!! Meddle
in!!!"
Yuma & Saya: "This is only natural!!!!"
Saya: "Everyone loves you, Hisoka-san!!!"
Yuma: "Love... ahhhh, what a delicious echo....(heart)"
Saya: "L-O-V-E...Love..."
[Tsuzuki looks at them nodding. Hisoka looks like he's just seen someone
he doesn't want to see (which is true).]
Tsuzuki: "Yuma-chan...Saya-chan...When did you return?"
Yuma: "Hohohohoho."
Saya: "Right now."
Yuma: "Because we said we wanted to see Hisoka-kun soon...so
we hopped a flight down."
Saya: "We haven't seen each other since the Onsen trip."
[Hokkaido Station. Not returning in the winter, they come and go during
the summer. When they're with Tsuzuki, things get rowdy.]
Yuma: Of course, we also wanted to see Tsuzuki-san.
Saya: We're back.
Tsuzuki: [accepting their hugs] "Waaaaaaaaaai. (heart) Welcome
back, you two (heart)."
Hisoka: [doing a credible impression of a wary Shaoran] "------...and?"
Hisoka: "Why did you come."
Yuma: "That's right, we have something to give to you, Hisoka-kun."
Hisoka: "WHAT."
Yuma: "This."
[It's a dress of lace and ribbons, sparkling with shojo-ness.]
Yuma: "Panha's newest summer (dress) version. (heart heart)."
[Hisoka falls over and dies.]
Tsuzuki: "Wow, it's so cute. (heart)."
[Yuma's and Saya's imagination of how Hisoka would look in the dress.
It's scary.]
Saya: "Aah...I can just see it before my eyes. Hisoka's adorable
form that could be mistaken for a girl's."
Yuma: "A tired face that doesn't say anything, good! Good!!"
Hisoka: "Don't freely play around with people!!!"
Saya: "Come, Hisoka-san, try it on!!"
Yuma: "Throw away common sense!!"
Hisoka: "Stop!! Stop it, I said!!"
[Tsuzuki simply sits on the sidelines and watches.]
Hisoka: "Why..."
Hisoka: "Why you..."
Hisoka: "CUT IT OUT!!!"
[Somewhere in JuOhCho, something explodes.]
Tatsumi: "--------..."
Tatsumi: "I thought it sounded rather noisy next door..."
[Hisoka is hiding behind Tatsumi, out of breath. Saya, Yuma, and Tsuzuki
all bear slap marks on their faces.]
Tatsumi: "Just what are all of you doing..."
Tsuzuki, Saya, Yuma: "Cat Punch."
Saya: And Cat kick as well it seems.
{Matsushita-sensei: Somehow, Tsuzuki got dragged in and hit.}
[Tatsumi rubs Saya and Yuma on the head.]
Tatsumi: "Tsuzuki-san. Kurosaki-kun. The chief called for you."
Tsuzuki: "The chief?"
Tsuzuki: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!!? Business trip to Okinawa~~~~~~~~~!!?"
Hisoka: Okinawa...
Hisoka: Equals hot.
Hisoka: The ultimate evil~~~~~~~~~
Konoe: "You do know that during the summer, Okinawa gets quite
busy as far as deaths go."
Tsuzuki: "Yes."
Tsuzuki: "In the summer, Okinawa is filled with tourists. On
that part, a lot of accidents happen..."
Konoe: "Therefore there was a request for the two of you to go
there. You're free now aren'y yoou? Go there for a bit."
Tsuzuki: "Well, I dont mind--------"
Tsuzuki: "But...Hisoka..."
Tsuzuki: Will you be alright?
Hisoka: "I'll be alright (crying)."
Hisoka: It's work after all.
Yuma: "Hai hai hai!! Tatsumi-san! We want to go too!!!"
Tatsumi: "You may not. They are enough."
Tsuzuki: "Why not, Tatsumi. Isn't it better to have more people?"
Tatsumi: "They can't go."
Tatsumi: "We aren't going to waste the business trip expenditure."
Yuma: "I WAANA GO I WANNA GO I WANNA GO-----------!!"
Tsuzuki: "I would prefer to have the girls come as well..."
Tatsumi: "No is NO!!!"
Tsuzuki: [begin the pleading face] "--------... Tatsumi..."
Tatsumi: [caught the lure] "....."
Tatsumi: Those eyes...
Tatsumi: "Wha...What is it..."
Tatsumi: Those conspiring eyes...
Tatsumi: Just what...
[Tsuzuki has reached the full peak of the kicked puppy look.]
Tsuzuki: " 'My happiness is Tatsumi's happiness'..."
Tsuzuki: "Is a lie then....?"
[Tatsumi cracks.]
Yuma: "Eh? What what? What's with that line?"
Saya: "What is Tsuzuki-san's happiness?"
Konoe: "Oi, Tatsumi, what is this?"
Hisoka: "It's that kind of thing, Chief."
Tatsumi: "--------.. Well....well, it can't be helped. They may
go."
Tsuzuki: "YES-------~~~"
Tsuzuki: "The sea----- (heart). Okinawa---- (heartx3)"
Saya: "And we'll get to see Chizuru-chan too."
Tsuzuki: "Right."
Hisoka: Chizuru...?
Hisoka: That's right, I haven't met the Okinawa stationed
Shinigamis yet...
Hisoka: I wonder what kind of people they are.
Yuma: "Well then, we're off, Chief!!"
Yuma: "Thank you, Tatsumi-san! We owe you (heart)"
Saya: "We'll bring back lots of souvenirs."
Tatsumi: "Damn...lately it's been hard to match wits against
them..."
Tatsumi: "Next time, I must be stricter..."
Konoe: "Any stricter than you are now, and they just might run
away (from home)..."
Tatsumi: [evil eyes and knife] "Chief... What was that just now...?"
Konoe: "Nothing! Nothing!!"
[------and with that kind of situation, the party goes to the country
of summer Okinawa...]
[First Area Okinawa]
Tsuzuki: "......"
Tsuzuki: "HOT..."
Saya: "It really is hot ne."
Yuma: "This is harsh for Hokkaido people like us..."
Saya: "Ah! Hisoka-san!!"
Yuma: "This is bad! He collasped after all!!!"
[Hisoka collapses but Tsuzuki catches him.]
Tsuzuki: "Anyway, we need a place to rest..."
"What's wrong? Tsuzuki-san."
[A tan girl, probably high school aged, salutes him, dressed in a policewoman's
uniform.]
"You look like you're having some trouble."
Tsuzuki: "Chizuru-chan!!"
Chizuru: "I received a message from the office-----I came to
meet you but..."
Tsuzuki: "Sorry, Chizuru-chan! We'll talk later!!"
Tsuzuki: "We have to let Hisoka rest in some cool place...!!"
Chizuru: "Of course."
Chizuru: "Then let's us be off to ShinKouCho at once."
{theria: ShinKouCho is the name of the Cho in this area.}
"Will a cooler work?"
"OF COURSE!!!"
[At ShinKouCho which looks like a giant pagoda Hisoka wakes up to find
himself in a bed with a wet cloth on his brow.]
Yuma: "Ah, you're finally awake."
Saya: "Everyone was worried about you---"
Chizuru: "Are you alright, Hisoka-san. Does it hurt anywhere?"
Hisoka: "------..."
Hisoka: ".....Tsuzuki...?"
Chizuru: "He went to see Sengoku-san. He'll be back soon so don't
worry."
Hisoka: "!! No...not really----"
Hisoka: "Worried or anything..."
Chizuru: "You're like how Tsuzuki-san said."
Chizuru: "I haven't introduced myself yet."
Chizuru: "I'm Akamine Chizuru who is stationed at this First
Area."
Chizuru: "I only entered a year before you did but feel free
to ask me for any help."
Hisoka: "I'm...Kurosaki Hisoka..."
Saya: "Chiruzu-san used to be a policewoman."
Yuma: "Ne, Chizuru-chan, why don't you stop wearing that uniform?
Shokan Division doesn't have a dress code so you stand out too much."
Chizuru: "Well, but..."
Chizuru: "It was my dream...to become a police officer..."
Chizuru: "No matter what, I can drop these clothes."
Hisoka: Ah...
Hisoka: I can feel it...
Hisoka: A pure emotion...
Hisoka: This person, wears those clothes because they hold
her confidence and pride in her work...
Hisoka: Straightfoward
Hisoka: Like Tsuzuki...
Yuma: "Well, that's fine."
Saya: "But someday you just have to wear a Panha set."
Chizuru: [sweatdropping] "Haha..."
Hisoka: "..."
[Tsuzuki comes in.]
Tsuzuki: "Aaaah....he didn't have to be so angry about us coming
to Okinawa..."
Tsuzuki: "Just like Tatsumi, that Sengoku."
Chizuru: "Ah, Tsuzuki-san. Welcome back."
Tsuzuki: "Hai. I'm back."
Tsuzuki: [checks Hisoka's forehead for his temperature] "Hisoka...you
alright?"
Hisoka: "...ah."
Hisoka: "Well...more or less."
Chizuru: "I'm sorry. Please don't mind Sengoku's words. That
person likes to scold..."
Tsuzuki: "I know. You don't have to apologize Chizuru-chan."
Chizuru: "...hai."
Tsuzuki: "By the way, Hisoka. Because you collapsed earlier,
you were able to cut work."
Hisoka: "It...wasn't in order to cut work..."
Saya: "But it's true. Sengoku-san works everyone like a horse.""
Chizuru: "You all really did a good job today!! Please enjoy
a day off tomorrow."
Chizuru: "At least for today, you can stay at my apartment...
Tomorrow, I take you to the inn near the ocean where you'll be staying
after that."
Tsuzuki, Saya, Yuma: "The ocean-------! Play (heart) Swim-------(heart)."
Chizuru: "Please enjoy Okinawa."
[Hisoka suddenly senses something and looks down the hallway. But there
isn't anything.]
Hisoka: My imagination...? I felt that------...
Saya: "Hisoka-saaan, hurry let's go."
Hisoka: Something was there...
[Next day at a very crowded beach. Chizuru, Saya, and Yuma are running
around in their bathing suits, drawing more than a few guys' attention.
Tsuzuki and Hisoka are wearing parkas.]
Tsuzuki: "The sea is nice..."
Tsuzuki: "Eye feast (heart). Eye feast (heart)."
Hisoka: [looking at his book] "...old man."
Tsuzuki: "By the way, Hisoka, want to swim together?"
Hisoka: "I don't want to get burned...You...?"
Tsuzuki: [laughing sheepishly] "Well, the truth is in the past
I got stung by a jellyfish and it's left me with a bad memory..."
Hisoka: "You can't swim."
Tsuzuki: "That isn't it!!!"
Chizuru: "Tsuzuki-san. Kurosaki-kun. Couldn't we take all of
the luggage in one trip to the inn?"
Chizuru: "After that, we can go sightseeing."
"That's good. It's better to travel light."
Chizuru: "Well. I'll take you to today's inn."
[There's a grand resort hotel.]
Tsuzuki: "Uwaaaaaa-------!! It's gorgeous!!!"
Yuma: "A pool...(heart)."
Chizuru: "Ah, everyone, you're mistaken."
[She's pointing somewhere else.]
Chizuru: "It's over this way."
"EH?"
Tsuzuki: "This way you said..."
[A dilapidated, old style Japanese inn. The background breaks behind
Tsuzuki, Yuma, and Saya. Hisoka only looks resigned.]
Tsuzuki: "Should have expected~~~ Tatsumi wouldn't give out enough
money for the other one..."
Chizuru: [a bit desperately] "But, the owners here are all very
good people...!!"
[She goes inside.]
Chizuru: "Miyagi-saaaaaaaaaaan. Miyagi-saaaaaaaaaaan."
[Hisoka looks around and suddenly sense something.]
Chizuru: "That's strange...it doesn't seem anyone is around..."
Hisoka: "...is here.."
Saya: "Eh?"
Hisoka: "Something"
Hisoka: "Is here."
Chizuru: "..."
Hisoka: "Akamine-san, you---------you brought us here for some
reason."
[Tsuzuki and Yuma look at the quiet Chizuru.]
Tsuzuki: "Chizuru-chan, just what..."
Chizuru: [bows to all of them] "I'm sorry, Tsuzuki-san!!"
Chizuru: "The truth is..."
Chizuru: "I asked Tatsumi-san to send you here...!!"
Tsuzuki: "...eh?"
Chizuru: [looking to Hisoka] "...you noticed it. As was expected,
Kurosaki-kun."
Hisoka: "..."
Chizuru: "The truth is...this place has a history..."
Hisoka: "A history you say..."
Chizuru: "A spirit beast...appears here."

Chizuru: "This private inn...Miyage-------"
Chizuru: "Is haunted by a ghost..."
Tsuzuki: "..."
"A...a ghost you say..."
Chizuru: "That story has been floating around the guests for
about half a year."
Chizuru: "Before, this place had a reputation for being cheap
but with good service..."
Chizuru: "Then the rumor about the ghost haunting began to spread."
Chizuru: "Now it's become this lonely, guests keeping away from
here..."
Tsuzuki: "Hey...hold on a minute...this is..."
[Puppy Tsuzuki glomps Hisoka from the back.]
Tsuzuki: "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! I'm....I'm scared, Hisoka~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Tsuzuki: "I can't deal with a ghost haunted house-------!!"
[Saya and Yuma do the same from the other side.]
Yuma & Saya: "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yuma and Saya are
also scared of ghosts!!!"
[All three of them glomp an annoyed Hisoka. Chizuru sweatdrops. Sound
effects of punching.]
Hisoka: "Whose afraid of who?"
{theria: Actually, 'Ghosts are afraid of ghosts?' since they all are
officially dead.}
[Saya and Yuma sport bandages on their heads. Tsuzuki is only a leg.]
Saya & Yuma: Iyaaaaaaaaaaa. Hisoka is the scariest.
Tsuzuki: "It was a jooooooooooke."
Chizuru: "That isn't all."
Chizuru: "Look over there."
Saya: "Eh?"
Saya: "Uwaaaaa...!! Such a huge hotel!!!"
Saya: "Isn't it right in front of here...!"
Chizuru: "The president of that place has been putting a lot
of pressure to buy out Miyagi."
Chizuru: "Spreading nasty rumors-------..."
Chizuru: "Before breaking Miyagi down from the shadows."
Saya: "Wait a minute, Chizuru-chan."
Saya: "So, haven't you thought of this then?"
Saya: "That this entire ghost-haunting rumor is just part of
the effort to bring down Miyagi's reputation?"
Chizuru: "Yes...that was what I was afraid of when I first sent
the letter."
Chizuru: "But this isn't just some false rumor."
Chizuru: "After all"
Chizuru: "You just gave proof of that."
Chizuru: "Kurosaki-kun."
"Oh my...how unusual..."
"It's been several months since any guests have come..."
[The Shinigami turn around, startled. It's a girl with long hair, carrying
a bouquet of sunflowers.]
"Welcome, travelers from faraway..."
"As you can see, there isn't much to this small private inn..."
Chizuru: "Rika!!"
Rika: "-----eh...?"
Rika: "..."
Rika: "-----... it can't be...Chizuru...chan?"
[Rika drops her flowers.]
Rika: "This...can't be..."
Rika: "You..."
Rika: "Should've died four years because of an accident..."
Tsuzuki: Ee!? Hold...hold on here!!
Tsuzuki: I didn't hear anything about you two knowing each
other!!
Tsuzuki: How are you going to explain about the Shinigami,
Chizuru-chan!!
Rika: "Wh..."
Rika: [slaps Chizuru on the shoulder like old times] "What's
this---! You're alive, Chizuru-chan!!!"
Rika: "And here I was sure that you died in that accident--!!"
Chizuru: [acting the same] "Hey, no way I'd die just like that---!!
I'm still hale and hearty!!!"
Tsuzuki: "Wha..."
Tsuzuki: What's up with these two!!?
Chizuru: "I've been recuperating in Hokkaido. I came back with
some friends I made up there."
Rika: "Is that so...I'm relieved."
Rika: "Welcome."
Rika: "I am Miyagi Rika...the owner of this inn."
Rika: "It's a pleasure to meet everyone..."
Chizuru: "Rika and I are old childhood friends."
Everyone: "Ahhh...likewise."
Rika: "Now please, come inside. It'll be a special welcome for
Chizuru-chan's friends."
[She hurries off to make preparations.]
Tsuzuki: [patting Rika's dog] "Just what....was that...?"
[At that huge hotel]
President: "Hey."
President: "It's been a long time, Muraki."
President: "Are you well?"
{theria: Rufus clone!!!!!!!}
President: "You're not coming down here this year are you. That's
too bad."
President: "Where are you right now..."
President: "Eh----? Kyoto!?"
President: "You're a doctor aren't you? What are you doing there-----.."
President: "What? 'Leave me alone' you said?"
President: "Well, if you change your mind, come over."
President: "I'll have the best sweets prepared for you. Later."
[A sun-glass man with mustache was standing on the side.]
Nakijin: "President. Were you in the middle of a conversation
with a friend?"
President: "Yes."
President: "Muraki is a doctor. Someone I've known from a long
time back."
President: "Well? Does the Miyagi buyout plan proceed well?"
Nakijin: "Yes...the rumors we've spread appear to be effective--------
Miyagi is on its last legs."
Nakijin: "It's only a matter of time..."
President: "There's no reason for it to be a real haunted place."
President: "Anyway...! Miyagi is the only one who hasn't accepted
our buyout."
President: "That location and view is without a doubt good!!"
President: I will definitely get it------
President: To build the extra extension of my Pacifica Resort!!!
President: "Nakijin."
President: "Show me the power that won the confidence of my
father and your place in our Taira Group!!"
Nakijin: "Hai..."
Nakijin: "Even at the cost of this Nakijin's life..."
President: "There is nothing that I desire that I cannot get.
I will without a doubt get everything."
President: "-----That's right...even Rika..."
[The President does a 'I'm so cool' pose and Nakijin is crying, biting
his handkercheif. There's the word 'Baka' pointing to the President.]
Rika: "----and that is the situation, Tsuzuki-san."
Tsuzuki: "I see...this is very serious."
Rika: "For my deceased parents as well...I've worked hard to
keep from losing this inn but-------"
Rika: "I can't do anything without customers."
Rika: "If I were to sell cheaply now, Taira..."
Chizuru: "You can't do that, Rika!! If you do that, what are
you going to do!?"
Rika: "Chizuru-chan..."
Chizuru: "That Taira!! Using human weaknesses so he can get even
you!!?"
Chizuru: "He wasn't like this in the past, that STUPID PRESIDENT!!"
Tsuzuki: "What? You two and the president were classmates or
something?"
Rika: "Yes..."
Chizuru: "Even though Rika's turned him down again and again,
he keeps following her."
Rika: "Yes..."
Rika: "I..."
Rika: "It's because I...have no interest in guys."
[Everyone, Chizuru included, freeze in shock.]
Tsuzuki: "What...what did she just say?"
Yuma: "She definitely said 'guys'."
Saya: "So then Rika-san is...could she be...!!"
[Hisoka ignores them.]
[Chizuru bows down before Tsuzuki and everyone else.]
Chizuru: "Tsuzuki-san...Fukiya-san, Torii-san, Kurosaki-kun..."
Chizuru: "I beg of you! For Rika's sake, please help (me)!!"
Chizuru: "I understand how wrong it is to bring you here and
ask this senseless business!"
Chizuru: "But Rika is my very important friend!!"
Rika: Chizuru-chan...
Chizuru: [still bowing] "I...I want to do something....!!"
[Tsuzuki pats her on the head.]
Tsuzuki: "You shouldn't do that."
Tsuzuki: "Girls shouldn't beg like so."
Tsuzuki: "Of course I'll help."
Tsuzuki: "I'd be glad to."
Chizuru: "Tsuzuki-san..."
Saya: "We'll also help."
Yuma: "It'll be cool to restore this inn."
Rika: "Thank you very much!!"
Tsuzuki: "...so that's the reason, Hisoka. We'll be working together
on this."
Hisoka: "Why are such a rash promising baka..."
Tsuzuki: "But it's so sad...."
Hisoka: "Don't get near me, it's too hot!!"
Hisoka: [calmed down] "------it's fine..."
Hisoka: "I'm already resigned to it. Since the time I became
your partner."
Tsuzuki: [with flowers and tears] "Hisoka...you're so adorable
today."
[Hisoka is ignoring him.]
Rika: "Such happy people..."
Chizuru: "Yes..."
Chizuru: "...Rika...we'll get through this!!"
Rika: "...."
Rika: "...yes."
[The next day, Saya and Yuma are dressed up like....I have no idea.
But they're dressed up to attract customers.]
"First let's try legitimate customer solicitation."
"Though it looks old, the interior is lovely. You can go directly to
the ocean from the garden, the view is wonderful and the food is delicious."
[Tsuzuki is tending Rika's sunflowers and Chizuru is talking to him.]
Rika: "I think that the problem lies in the Miyagi Inn's appeal."
Tsuzuki: "I can see that."
Rika: "We don't have the money for commericals...I guess this
is okay (what Yuma and Saya are doing)..."
Tsuzuki: "Well, no need to get all worked up in the beginning.
The summer is long."
Tsuzuki: "Just go step-by-step."
Chizuru: "...hai."
Chizuru: It's funny...
Chizuru: When Tsuzuki-san says that...
Chizuru: I feel much better...
"So the change in status on the first day is zero huh..."
Hisoka: "The ghost stories have come this far..."
Saya: "Just saying 'Miyagi' causes people to turn away."
Hisoka: "Anyway, so we have to do something about those ghost
rumors..."
Hisoka: [senses something] "Or..."
[The silhouette of something that looks like a lion appears on the paper
screen door behind Hisoka.]
Rika: "Kyaaa..."
Yuma: "A...A...A GHOST~~~~~~~~!!!"
Hisoka: This is...a ghost...!?
Hisoka: Impossible...! There's no spiritual sense about it.
Hisoka: When did it...!!
[Tsuzuki rushes past Hisoka.]
Tsuzuki: "Out of the way! Hisoka!!"
Hisoka: "!?"
Chizuru: "Tsuzuki-san!?"
[Tsuzuki shoves the door aside.]

[Tsuzuki shoves the door aside to find...nothing in the garden outside.]
Yuma: "........there's.......nothing........"
[Tsuzuki still has that stern look and suddenly turns and runs down
the hallway.]
Chizuru: "Kurosaki-kun, can you sense anything!?"
Hisoka: "........."
[Hisoka tries...]
Hisoka: "...it's no use...I can't sense anything...."
Saya: "Not even Hisoka-san can verify it's true form...."
Saya: "What can it be?"
[Tsuzuki has apparently run outside but has found nothing.]
[Naha------------ (city's name?)]
Yuma: "Still, last night was unsettling."
Yuma: "I didn't think it would come out at such a crowded place."
[Yuma and Saya are out shopping for food. They're currently walking
down a meat counter aisle, carrying bags of food.]
Saya: "We may be unable to do anything but a full-fledged extermination.
That will disrupt Miyagi's restoration."
[Somewhere else...]
Hisoka: Exterminate...
Hisoka: "Well, there's not like reason that it's hurt someone
or something...."
[Chizuru is with him, both are also carrying grocery bags.]
Chizuru: "Kurosaki-kun, that's heavy isn't it? Let me carry it."
Hisoka: "Eh?"
Hisoka: "!?"
[Chizuru is carrying his bag too, which comes out to about two hanging
off of each arm and about two or three in her hands.]
Chizuru: [smiling widely] "Actually, I have superhuman strength."
Chizuru: "This isn't much so don't worry."
Rika: "Chizuru-chan has always been really strong.
You could break ten slabs (wood? stone?) with your bare hands couldn't
you?"
Chizuru: "Actually, Rika, it was 20 (heart)."
Rika: "Wa...Was it...?"
Hisoka: [edging away] "That...kind of talk is scary..."
[He's picking some stuff out for curry, tonight's meal apparently, when
he notices Tsuzuki across the way. Chibi-Tsuzuki is drooling, a lot.]
Tsuzuki: Black Sugar Hi-Soft and Kahl plum...
Tsuzuki: Curry rice crackers, Hachagumi Rice Candy, Red Sweet
Potatoe tasting 'chinsukou'...
Tsuzuki: All of it! I want to eat it all!!
Tsuzuki: Aah (heart), the giant Kyoro-chan (food) is tempting
me (heart heart).
Hisoka: [anger in form of man] "WHAT are you slobbering and grinning
stupidly about, you King of Sweets."
[His foot had connected w/ Tsuzuki's head.]
Tsuzuki: "Hisoka! Hey hey! I'll cook the food, I'll cook!!"
Hisoka: "Really........."
Hisoka: "And what kind of food would that be?"
Tsuzuki: "Slowly! With rich taste!! Well-boiled Souki Soba!!!"
Tsuzuki: "Called Tsuzuki Special!!!!"
{Quote on Tsuzuki: Because it's Okinawa of coooooooooourse.}
Hisoka: "Proposal rejected."
Tsuzuki: "AH!!"
Tsuzuki: "Why that immediate reaction!!!"
"But we do need to make some kind of speciality."
"True..."
"What would be good..."
[At the resort...]
President: "? What did you say?? Miyagi has customers....?"
Nakijin: "Hai."
Nakijin: [holding up a picture] "There has been a sparse number
this morning."
President: "Impossible...!"
President: "You mean to say that Miyagi has something to sell
now?"
President: "Even if you think of the room and board as cheap,
that can't counter the rumors of hauntings."
Nakijin: "...it appears there is a child fortune teller staying
there."
President: "!?"
President: "A fortune teller...?"
[Ye fortune teller is Hisoka. He's currently with a customer.]
Hisoka: "Right now"
Hisoka: "You are worried about your long distance relationship
with a Higa Akio-san (age 27)."
Girl: "Why...yes..."
Hisoka: "Of course. Because it's Tokyo and Okinawa, you two don't
meet often. You have been going out together since high school?"
Hisoka: "He really likes worms and bugs, raises a sea iguana
whose name is Momo?"
[The girl can only nod in agreement and shock.]
Girl: "How...how do you know all of that!?"
Girl: "No, I mean...more importantly, what should I do...!!"
Hisoka: "Break up with that man immediately. He has another woman."
[Saya and Yuma are watching.]
Saya: "Hisoka-san's fortune teller's tent is a great success."
Yuma: "That's because he's a real empath."
{Empath: Hisoka's psionic ability to read other people's thoughts.}
Yuma: "He's different from all of the fakes."
In the resort industry, it's a point scored for pleasing female customers.
Score the females and we'll get the patrons!!
Girl: "Thank you very much. I will break up with him."
Girl: "Thanks to you, I have the determination."
[And she gets kind-of attacked by Saya and Yuma's post-divination PR
craze, trying to sell her an overnight stay to allay her troubles and such,
buy a divination souvenir, etc.]
Saya: "Speaking of which...I haven't seen Tsuzuki-san."
Yuma: "I think it's because Hisoka-kun admonished him to do something
(to help)."
[Tsuzuki in the o-furo.]
Tsuzuki: "Honestly!! What's up with everyone!!"
Tsuzuki: "Excluding me!!!"
Tsuzuki: I want to do something for Chizuru-chan and Rika-san...
Tsuzuki: "I want to help too somehow..."
Tsuzuki: I could so another show using my Shikigami but...
Tsuzuki: If I do that, SohRyu may lose his humour...
Tsuzuki: Byakko likes to make people smile so he's fine but
SohRyu is a straight-laced person...Suzaku-neesan would be scary afterwards
and Old Man Genbu is too old...
Tsuzuki: Ahh...but such a nice smell... (the bath water)
Tsuzuki: Lavender? Or is it Camomille...?
Tsuzuki: [gets an idea]
Tsuzuki: "...that's it...! I just thought of a good idea."
[JuOhCho -- EnMaCho]
Tatsumi: "Haaa..."
Tatsumi: "It's so nice how quiet the workplace is without Tsuzuki..."
Konoe: [cute, semi-pouting head on desk] "Okinawa huh..."
Tatsumi: "They're probably being used by Sengoku right now..."
Tatsumi: "They by all means are doing the amount of work down
there in Okinawa that they don't do usually."
[Something patters on the window. It's a bird with a note.]
Tatsumi: "Hm?"
Tatsumi: "This one is..."
Tatsumi: "Tsuzuki-san's familiar."
Tatsumi: "Has something happened...?"
Konoe: "It has a letter...Try reading it."
Tatsumi: "Hai."
Konoe: "Well...? They haven't caused some problem again down
there have they?"
Tatsumi: "Ah...no...he apparently has some personal concern over
which he is soliciting my advice."
Konoe: [trying to wrap his mind around the idea] "Personal concern...?"
Tatsumi: Purposely sending this kind of thing to me...
Tatsumi: Even though a telephone call would have been quicker
Tatsumi: Honestly-----------...
Tatsumi: Such a troublesome person...
Tatsumi: "My counseling fee is high----------- Tsuzuki-san."
[Okinawa -- Miyagi Inn]
Tsuzuki: [in yukata] "Ah, you're back (heart)."
Tsuzuki: "You're carrying Tatsumi's reply. Thank you."
Tsuzuki: Though Tatsumi looks that way, he likes to cook.
Tsuzuki: "I wonder if he gave me a delicious menu...?"
Letter: "Tatsumi Cooking Lecture Room. Training Recipe. Juuman
Ennari (10,000 yen)."
[Tsuzuki is crying in his room. Yuma, Saya, and Hisoka are sitting just
outside of the door.]
Yuma: "It looks like he wrote a letter to Tatsumi-san to teach
him a cooking recipe..."
Saya: "...and he was turned down..."
[There are people staying at the Miyagi Inn now.]
Rika: "It's been awhile since the inn has been this lively at
night."
[Rika, Chizuru, and Rika's dog are walking along the beach.]
Rika: "It's like a dream."
Rika: "Patrons coming here again..."
Rika: "It's like I'm back when my parents were still alive."
Chizuru: "I owe a lot to your parents."
Chizuru: "Treating me who lost my parents young like I was their
own daughter."
Chizuru: "I'll help out with anything for this Miyagi Inn."
Rika: "...thank you, Chizuru-chan."
Rika: "You're always there by my side during the hard times..."
Rika: "I don't know how many times I've done the same for you..."
Rika: "So------"
Rika: "It's alright for you to come back here whenever you want...?"
Rika: "There is a home for you here as well..."
Chizuru: Rika...
Chizuru: I'm sorry, Rika. I appreciate your feelings but
Chizuru: But I'm...
Chizuru: No longer...
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Chizuru: "!?"
[It came from the inn.]
Chizuru: [to a female guest] "What happened?"
Guest: "O...O...."
Guest: "Over there...someone was peeking through that window...!!"
[Tsuzuki and Hisoka come running in.]
Tsuzuki: "Chizuru-san! Rika-san!!"
Tsuzuki: "What happened, was it IT!?"
Chizuru: "Tsuzuki-san!!"
[Hisoka is gripped by the force of something he senses.]
Hisoka: "........"
Hisoka: This feeling......
Hisoka: it can't be......
Yuma: "It's here! Over there!!"
[In the garden is a large beast, kind of looks like the silhoutte of
a lion with a very long and overflowing mane.]
Tsuzuki: "Damn it...!"
Tsuzuki: "This time I'm going to catch you and send you to hell!"
Hisoka: "No, Tsuzuki! You've got it wrong."
Hisoka: "That isn't a ghost!!"
Hisoka: "It's really...!!"
[The beast leaps away and Tsuzuki gives chase.]
Tsuzuki: "Trying to escape!!!"
Tsuzuki: "Come forth!"
Tsuzuki: "Byakko---------!!"
[He did this in view of all the guests.....]
Guests: "That's amazing!!"
Guests: "What!? Are they magicians?"
Rika: "Why! That tiger has lovely fur (heart)."
Chizuru: "That isn't the obvious point, Rika!!"
Hisoka: ...I really don't understand Rika-san...
"Excuse me for coming in during a time of confusion."
Rika: "Y..."
Rika: "You..."
Nakijin: "Even if you all, no one will come out."
Rika: Nakijin---------!!
Nakijin: "I came of my own will. Miyagi-san."
[Um, in the surrounding tropical forest...]
Tsuzuki: "...that creep...running to hide in this place..."
Byakko: "Without question, it's around this area."
Byakko: "I can faintly catch his scent."
Tsuzuki: "Byakko, you can see in the dark right? Can't you see
anything?"
Byakko: "In this kind of forest..."
[Byakko senses something.]
Byakko: "Tsuzuki!!"
[His tail had wrapped around Tsuzuki and pulled him away from an attack.]
Tsuzuki: "Wha..."
Tsuzuki: "What was that!!?"
Tsuzuki: The cycad leaf...!?
{theria: It was cut...I think.}
Byakko: "It looks like this is it's territory. We've fallen successfully
into it's trap."
Tsuzuki: "Damn..."
Tsuzuki: "Can't see well in this pitch darkness..."
Tsuzuki: "Just where the hell is it hiding."

Tsuzuki: "Damn..."
Tsuzuki: "Just where the hell is it hiding."
[Something runs by.]
Tsuzuki: "!?"
[He and Byakko go flying as the shadowy huge lion thing suddenly attacks/appears
right behind them.]
Tsuzuki: "DOWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
[They run from an enemy they can't quite see.]
Tsuzuki: "What is that! That in no way is a ghost!!"
Byakko: "Either way...! Let's draw it into a wider area!!"
[A vine, on its own?, wraps itself around Tsuzuki's leg and trips him.]
Tsuzuki: "WAAA!!?"
Tsuzuki: What!?
Tsuzuki: A piece of vine...
Byakko: [looking back] "Tsuzuki!?"
[Big, shadowy lion thing looms in front of Tsuzuki.]
Tsuzuki: No use.
Tsuzuki: It's going to kill me...!!!
[A large clawed palm comes down.]
[Only to be stopped by Chizuru-chan(!!), fending off the blow with crossed
forearms.]
Tsuzuki: "CHIZURU-CHAN!!?"
Chizuru: "Wielding violent force against an ordinary good citizen...!!!"
Chizuru: "Even if the corrupt police commanders let you go..."
Chizuru: [Chizuru-chan punch!!!] "I WILL NOT-------------!!!"
[The beast goes flying and lands several meters away.]
Chizuru: [looking a bit crazed] "Hohohohohoho. Don't look down
on a policewoman."
[Tsuzuki and Byakko are clutching in the background.]
Tsuzuki: Sc....Scary....!!!
[Back at Miyagi Inn, Yuma, Saya, and Rika are sitting in a room with
sweatdrops floating over their heads. They can see Nakijin and Hisoka sitting
across from each other in another room but they can't hear what is being
said.]
Saya: "Ne, Rika-san...what did that person really come here for?"
Rika: "Well, he's been speaking with Hisoka-san since the beginning..."
Yuma: "....anyway, it doesn't appear that he came here to discuss
a buy-out."
[Hisoka's and Nakijin's conversation]
Hisoka: "....I'm surprised..."
Hisoka: "That a Taira person would come to me..."
Nakijin: "The truth is I came for a fortune telling."
Nakijin: "I entered service in the Taira Group under the previous
president. He was an excellent man. His son (the current president) simply
selfishly does as he wishes..."
[When the current president was eight.]
President: [licking a lollipop] "Nakijin! I want a bat that will
without fail score a home run!! Go buy it."
Nakijin: "EH? Such a thing."
[When the current president was twenty]
President: "Nakijin!! Go buy me stock shares that will never
go down (in value)."
Nakijin: "WHAT!?"
President: "NAKIJIN. Buy out Fuji Telebi (a TV station) and show
our commercials 24 hours a day."
Nakijin: "That's impossible."
Which is to say, that he is an idiot president.
Nakijin: [with streaming tears] "The company now is on the verge
of collapse!!"
Nakijin: "I came because I've had enough of this, how many times
I've come to wringing his neck...!!"
Saya: [crying in sympathy] "How...how miserable."
Yuma: [angry and annoyed] "The sooner done the better..."
Hisoka: [plain annoyed by the audience] "---and...? What is it
you said you wanted divined."
Nakijin: [dried up his tears] "What I wish to know is-----..."
Nakijin: "Who will be the person to whom I turn (my loyalty)
to next."
Hisoka: !?
[Back in the forest]
Byakko: "Found it!! Over here!!!"
[Chizuru and Tsuzuki look over Byakko's shoulder.]
Byakko: "---------... This guy is..."
Byakko: "Aren't you Shiisa...!!"
[There is a swirly eyed four legged creature, perhaps no larger than
Byakko's foreleg though it still bears a lion's mane.]
Byakko: "The form we've seen up until now was for intimidation."
Byakko: "But why is he here instead of in GenSouKai where he's
supposed to be..."
Byakko: [lightly whacks Shiisa] "Hey, boy! You alright!?"
[Shiisa wakes up, sees Byakko, freaks out, and faints again.]
Byakko: "Ah!"
Tsuzuki: "Hey! What are you going to do now that he's fainted
again!!"
Byakko: "Shall I try talking to him?"
Tsuzuki: "Oh, forget it. I'll do it."
[Later...]
Shiisa: "I'm sorry for attacking...But I was frightened by being
chased by a large tiger and a person I didn't know...."
Tsuzuki: "But if you had spoken to us from the start, we wouldn't
have chased you?"
Tsuzuki: "Why wouldn't you come talk to us about yourself?"
Shiisa: "But...But I..."
Shiisa: "I'M SO SHY AND NAIVE AND NEVER SAW HUMANS BEFORE!!"
[Everyone else facefaults.]
Shiisa: [lost in his embarrassment] "Kyaaaaaaa. I'm so embarassed!!
I can't talk to people I don't know!!"
Tsuzuki: [ignoring him] "Well! Shall we return!!"
Chizuru: [ticked off] "Yes, let's do so."
Byakko: [already walking] "No objection."
[Later after returning to Meifu...]
Tatsumi: [rubbing his eye as if he had been laughing] "Is that
so."
Tatsumi: "Something like that happening over there (in Okinawa)..."
Tsuzuki: [wiped out] "I feel like I've worked twice as hard than
normal~~~~"
Tatsumi: "Well...a job well done then."
Tsuzuki: "That Shiisa got lost and ended up coming to this world
from GenSouKai. He had been skulking around Miyagi's garden for about half
a year. He really is an idiot."
Tatsumi: "'Got lost'... you say... I thought that the four gates
between the GenSouKai and NingenKai were barred?"
Tatsumi: "Therefore it would take a summoner such as yourself
casting the particular spell in order for it to come, does it not?"
Tsuzuki: "Yeah...there's that...it's the first time I've heard
about it as well but------"
Tatsumi & Hisoka: "A wormhole!?"
{Matsushita-sensei: About 1 occurs in a span of 2-300 years.}
Tsuzuki: "Very rarely, the two worlds are connected by a wormhole."
Tsuzuki: "It seems that Shiisa fell through one of those..."
Tsuzuki: "Because it closes on its own, it's ignored but no
one noticed that something had fallen through. Byakko was
surprised (that someone had fallen in it)."
Tatsumi: "Such a troublesome thing...! Byakko is one thing but
for even SohRyu to not have noticed it."
Hisoka: "Just like his master huh?"
Tsuzuki: "What's with that! You're mean!!"
Tsuzuki: "Oh yeah. What about that mustached man? Naki-something
or other."
Hisoka: "Nakijin...has taken over the Taira Group apparently."
Tsuzuki: "EH!!?"
Hisoka: "It seems that he's been working with other employees
dissatisfied with the current president...He came to me to make his decision."
Tsuzuki: "Oh..." Is that so...
Tatsumi: [cleaning his glasses] Aren't you glad
to be a governmental worker. No firing or downsizing. (<= Sarcasm)
Hisoka: Fortune telling is for pointing out the path to the
people who are lost
Hisoka: But Nakijin wasn't lost...
Hisoka: "I'm not a fortune teller or anything...I only read
his true heart."
Hisoka: "Before he came to me..."
Hisoka: "Nakijin's heart had already decided, long before------..."
Hisoka: "In the end, it was that man who saved Miyagi."
Hisoka: What am I doing...
Tsuzuki: "Yeah, but I think it's important that you could confirm
that for him."
Tsuzuki: "You're amazing, Hisoka."
Tsuzuki: "Because you can give that kind of power to Nakijin..."
[Hisoka looks at Tsuzuki.]
Hisoka: "You weren't able to do ANYTHING to help."
[Tsuzuki breaks.]
Tsuzuki: "Hey, I especially..."
Hisoka: "Shut up, BAKA."
Tsuzuki: "Ah~~~~~~!! You called me 'Baka'~~~~~"
Tatsumi: [sipping tea] "Anyway, it's good that the plan to buy-out
Miyagi never went through."
Tsuzuki: "Oh yeah, Tatsumi..."
Tsuzuki: [fires of rage around him] "Just how much did you get
from Chizuru-chan!!?"
[Tatsumi has been caught!!]
[Tatsumi and Tsuzuki face off. Panel 1: Tatsumi is thinking how to throw
off Tsuzuki. Panel 2: Tatsumi is still thinking. Panel 3: Still thinking.
And finally...]
Tatsumi: [holding out food] "Tsuzuki-san."
Tatsumi: "This was given to me but would you like to have some
original Kikuya Oshirono Kuchimochi?"
{A type of candy that consists of rice cakes sprinkled with soybean
flour.}
Tsuzuki: [on love-love mode] "YES~~~~ (heart heart)"
[Tsuzuki has been successfully distracted.]
Hisoka: "...."
Tatsumi: It's a good thing he thinks more with his stomach
than with his head...
[Apparently, whatever Chizuru paid him was a lot since he's now smirking
at his bank statement.]
[Okinawa]
Rika: "I see...So that Chibi-chan (Shiisa) is being looked after
by you..."
Chizuru: "It's kind of weird but I'm kind of attached to it...
Perhaps it's because I think about that if it gets out of my sight..."
Chizuru: "And what about that Baka president?"
Rika: "Ah...I haven't asked but, he's surely run back to his
father crying."
Chizuru: "Most likely."
Rika: "But I think if it's Nakijin, he can quickly put the company
back in order."
Chizuru: "He probably can..."
Rika: "What are you going to now? Chizuru-chan."
Chizuru: "Well...I have return to my job..."
Chizuru: "I may not be able to return here again..."
Rika: "Chizuru-chan...I've said this before but..."
Rika: "You will always..."
Rika: "Be welcome here..."
Rika: "After all..."
Rika: "We're family...!"
Chizuru: Rika...!?
Chizuru: Impossible, have you...
Rika: "Well."
Chizuru: Always known the truth but just pretended you didn't...
Rika: "I have to return home now."
Rika: "Later, Chizuru-chan."
Rika: "You must come for a visit again. Promise."
Chizuru: "-------sure..."
Chizuru: "Good-bye... Rika..."
Rika: "Good-bye...Chizuru-chan..."
Good-bye...
[Rika and her dog walk away. Tsuzuki and Hisoka appear in Rika's wake,
before Chizuru's surprised eyes. Tsuzuki is in his trademark black coat.]
Tsuzuki: "Shall we go 'home'..."
Tsuzuki: "Chizuru-chan."
Chizuru: I...
Chizuru: "....Tsuzuki-san..."
Chizuru: Have people waiting for me...
[Saya and Yuma show up in summer clothes.]
Yuma: "Ah! What's everyone doing here~~?"
Yuma: "Ne ne! Let's go get something cold to eat."
Saya: "How about getting some Blue Seal Ice on the way back?"
[Tsuzuki has gone into love-love mode.]
Chizuru: "By the way, aren't you hot in that? A
black coat."
Tsuzuki: "Eh? Ah, this?"
Tsuzuki: "I'm completely fine. Because..."
Tsuzuki: [Flashes them] "I'm not wearing anything underneath
(heart)."
[He's wearing pants, just no shirt.]
Chizuru & Saya & Yuma: "-------------!!!"
Chizuru: Ne, Rika...
Chizuru: Perhaps next summer
"IYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! PERVERT~~~~~~~!!!"
[Tsuzuki gets hit with something large and blunt.]
Chizuru: We can meet again
Hisoka: "....baka."
